Wasn't Young supposed to be playing too?

Close, but no cigar

Crews needs to take lessons from Harris on how to field a ball at the wall...

My goodness Ruiz is rivaling Chapparo's speed there.

That's one way to score with RISP

Dan uses "Ducks on the Pond", created by the original Nats' radio broadcaster, Arch McDonald. And the Nats have a lead as late as the 4th!!!

Ortiz is also not playing today in Rochester.

Seems likely, but Abilelec is nothing special.

would be the call up. Already on the 40 man and is left handed.

Vivas gonna get a lot of starts at 3B the rest of the year

NatNasty · « **Reply #15 on:** August 02, 2026, 03:05:22 pm »

Worst SS in the league

IdahoNat · « **Reply #16 on:** August 02, 2026, 03:05:33 pm »

Rochester was facing a right-hander today too.

CJ needs to go

IdahoNat · « **Reply #18 on:** August 02, 2026, 03:24:35 pm »

Not a bad outing from Cade. They're just not getting the same offense anymore now that they may have just gotten rid of their third and fourth best hitters.

i'd imagine they are taking precautions right now in case guys get moved.

But we might see some players to reinforce Fred-burg and Wilmington.

>Be in contention for the wild card
>Trade the fourth best hitter in one of the league's best offense
>Get a player that won't be available till after the trade deadline, but you can still advertise as helping for the playoff push
>Lose a bunch of games without said player and are now sellers

Yeah... kinda feels a bit scripted.

Painful, but it feels true.

Except that House has put up good numbers taking Mead's place so far: .286 / .286 / .429 / .714
